# Kerria<\/p>\n
## Overview<\/p>\n
Kerria is a mod that optimizes texture animations.<\/p>\n
In vanilla Minecraft, texture animations are handled rather inefficiently. Each time a texture is updated, it is uploaded onto the atlas via the slow `glTexSubImage2D`, which involves CPU->GPU upload and may potentially incur a pipeline stall.<\/p>\n
This mod adds two optimizations to reduce the performance impact of animated textures:<\/p>\n
– **Texture Animation Cache**. Instead of performing an upload each time, we can cache non-interpolated animated textures once they are uploaded to the GPU. When the texture is subsequently needed, it is applied with a very fast GPU-to-GPU copy.
\n– **Fast Texture Upload**. Optimize texture upload performance with persistently mapped buffers and pixel buffer objects.<\/p>\n
The optimizations can be configured through the Sodium\/Embeddium video settings screen.<\/p>\n
## FAQs<\/p>\n
**Is this compatible with Sodium\/Embeddium’s “Animate Only Visible Textures” option?**<\/p>\n
Yes. That option improves performance by skipping uploading animated textures that are invisible, while this mod actually speeds up the process of uploading animated textures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
